Description: T he Young Lions by U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel James Lee Conrad. Preowned & inscribed, but appears to be unused condition; must have been handled VERY carefully. Hardbound with dust jacket. 197 pages. 1st Edition published by Stackpole Books in 1997. Inscribed from a friend to a late History professor at a private high school in Michigan in 1997. This narrative is about Confederate cadets at war during the War Between the States in the 1860s. T he legend of the southern cadets is one of untrained boys wastefully flung in the path of Yankee armies in a Confederate "gotterdammerung" (which refers in German Mythology to the destruction of the gods and all things in a final battle with evil powers). The reality is one of highly trained young men who rendered valuable service from the earliest days of the war, and when confronted with the enemy on the battlefield, acquitted themselves as well as veteran troops. Focusing on the Confederacy's four major military colleges -- the Virginia Military Institute, the South Carolina Military Academy, the Georgia Military Institute, and the University of Alabama - THE YOUNG LIONS is the story of the cadets and their schools at war. It is truly a great, enlightening read!
